Pros

100% FULL Health coverage Awesome-- retirement match! - the max the law allows and immediately vested! Free food and drinks – literally a full 7-11 convenience store in the kitchen. They could open it up to the public and charge lol. (I get royalties, it’s my idea) Awesome, hip, Work hard BUT play hard environment. VERY fun, caring, giving atmosphere. Other departments just as awesome as yours! Talented employees in EVERY dept. Premiere access to video games, VR and other awesome new stuff. Be the first to play the PS5 or XBOX 1000 (or whatever they name the next new gaming rig)  No stuffy dress code – shorts and t-shirts allowed. Onsite Gym, games, and countless other perks.

Cons

Epic used to have a family cohesive unit mentality. They have abandoned that and have gone much more corporate. Lost a little bit of personal touch there. TONS of veteran employees left – some to work for the competition. But lots of new talent coming in. Last minute / do not plan ahead for large tasks; then upset when it takes forever to implement or why there are problems. Very typical = “I knew about this for 2 weeks, but I’m telling you today, could care less if you are here till 2am, I need this. Can this be done by tomorrow so we can present it live on GTV? No? Well, it needs to be done…” Unfortunately if it causes issues, you are to blame, not the person who waited till last minute.

Pros

- Amazing benefits and pay - Work with some of the most talented folks in the industry - Move quickly and ship a lot - Have the freedom to make a lot of impact - Not political and a no nonsense place, just a lot of talented and passionate folks wanting to do good work

Cons

- Company strategy can shift quickly which can feel chaotic for many people, change is a part of life at Epic - Lots of teams work long hours, not all teams but it’s common

Pros

Great Benefits, people you work with are all top notch in their fields.

Cons

No growth opportunities or raises at all. I've been here for 4 years and since then have only had 1 notable raise and no promotions. Constant turnover and loss of talent due to over-worked stress and no sense of work/life balance. Management are all incompetent and won't ever take accountability for their terrible actions. "Fast-paced" environment is what they tell you but it's just another way of saying they will over-work you and give you no rewards. C-suite is even more out of touch with their employees and consumers. Constant pivots and changes out of nowhere because some L8 or L9 didn't like it and no one will push back otherwise you get laid off. I was here since 2022 and it has just gone downhill ever since COVID. Layoffs are a clear indicator of a company under-performing and the fact that none of the people involved with the bad decisions were touched indicates that this will continue happening. Terrible place to grow and pay isn't much better.
